I have a Sparc Classic (sorta) that I'm trying to
get up and going.
When it boots it displays the following:
Can't read disk label
Can't open sun disk label package
It then proceeds to boot into single user mode, but with everything
mounted read only. The drive itself looks ok and the fs can't be too
messed up since it still boots and I can still see and do stuff (as
long as it doesn't write to the disk).
If I try to fsck it, it comes back and says:
can't stat /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s0
How do I put a disk label back on the drive. Preferably a method
that doesn't require a cd/tape to boot from (only have a floppy drive).
Thanks
George
Sounds like the disk label may have gotten hit.
Try uname -a and see what Solaris version it is.
I'd try fsck -n and see what partitions it knows about and can see
(bet it's just root).
It may be possible to run the format program and label it...
If you need it I've got some Sun compatible CDROMS (single speed
external slow) available that'll do the 512 byte sectors.
